<p>Police say Michael Lohman, a 28-year-old Princeton grad student admitted to them that he would fill small, plastic bottles with his own urine or semen and then spray it on unsuspecting women or pour the bodily fluids into their beverages when they weren't looking. </p>

<p>Police say Lohman told them he targeted only Asian females.</p>

<p>Princeton Borough police charged a Princeton University graduate student Wednesday in connection with more than 50 incidents of harassment targeting Asian women on the Princeton University campus.
Michael J. Lohman, 28, of Butler Avenue was charged with two counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts of tampering with a food product, one count of harassment and one count of theft. Butler Avenue is part of the Princeton University's Butler Apartments complex off South Harrison Street, and police identified Mr. Lohman as a graduate student. He is associated with the applied and computational mathematics department.
Investigators linked a report from an Asian woman who said an unidentified man cut a lock of her hair March 11 while she was riding a shuttle on Washington Road to reports of a white man seen pouring an unknown substance into women's drinks, according to police.
Mr. Lohman is believed to have placed his own bodily fluids into drinks being consumed by Asian women at various locations on the Princeton University campus, police said. Most of the incidents occurred in the Graduate College dining hall.
He also may have squirted body fluids on Asian women riding the university shuttle on many occasions, police said.
Mr. Lohman also stole clothing from Asian women on campus, according to police. Women's underwear and numerous mittens were recovered during a search of his apartment, police said.
Police said he was transported to the Capital Health Systems at Fuld for evaluation, and he still is in police custody.
The borough police department is requesting that individuals who suspect they might have been a victim contact Detective Sgt. Nicholas Sutter at (609) 921-8108.</p>

<p>omg my girlfriend is going there.... ahhhh!!!!</p>

<p>Seriously though, that's just so disgusting.</p>

<p>Something to keep in mind, West Sidee? </p>

<p>What exactly would that be? That we live on a planet where criminals and creeps commit acts of violence, and that we are unfortunately not immune whether in schools in Minnesota, office buildings in NYC, or safe university campuses? When you find a more perfect dwellable planet, please let me know.</p>

<p>The police at Princeton launched an investigation from an incident on a bus where this creep cut a lock of a woman's hair. They were able to place Lohman on this bus and to link this investigation to another of someone seen tampering with a drink. The witness to the drink incident identified Lohman. Lohman confessed upon interrogation. None of his colleagues suspected anything, nor reportedly anyone from his undergraduate institution, from whence he came with very strong recommendations. </p>

<p>When arrested he was charged with multiple crimes including reckless endangerment, harassment, food tampering, and theft, with other charges pending. President Tilghman swiftly banned him from campus.
I'd worry more about where he'll end up next than that he'd be at Princeton again. Perhaps an institution for the criminally insane? </p>

<p>In any case, parents (or boyfriends) of young women, and young women themselves, would do well to remind one another not to walk alone at night, to be careful of drinks and not drink from mystery punch bowls, to lock doors especially at night--and beyond these sorts of things, live your lives and enjoy them. Despite the few random deranged creeps, most people are wonderful. At Princeton they are particularly so, I have found.</p>

<p>Something to keep in mind when your daughters choose their college of choice. </p>

<p>That sentance is so flawed it's hard to read.</p>

<p>^ its ok, you'll get over the shock when you read the article.</p>

<p>I think that's disgusting, but seriously, it's not fatal, and I still maintain that Princeton has one of the safest college campuses. I'd rather have that than get raped or kidnapped or killed...</p>

<p>^ Yeah. Imagine if he raped 50 girls instead. That would make every girl at Princeton drop out for fear of their safety.</p>

<p>I read it, it was pretty awful also, but the same word as a verb and a noun to describe the same action makes a sentance convoluted and odd to read.</p>

<p>And rather redundant. Clearly, if one has chosen something, that would be one's thing of choice, no? </p>

<p>Speaking of redundant, this thread qualifies as well. There is no real need to post the same thread 5 times, including once in a forum that already has one very similar to it.</p>

<p>Come on guys, it's ONE isolated incident. It does not mean that Asian girls or whoever else is safer OUTSIDE of princeton than at princeton. Chill.... :p</p>

<p>zantedeschia says: "---I still maintain that Princeton has one of the safest college campuses. I'd rather have that than get raped or kidnapped or killed." </p>

<p>You've gotten it right Zant</p>

<p>Relax guys, among its peers, Princeton is the most safe university (it is not even on the crime radar screen):</p>

<p>^ This would never happen at a California Ivy. If it did, there would be massive protests against this sicko.</p>

<p>This what you guys do for fun at Princeton, eh?</p>

<p>This is one student .... a graduate student who had attended the first 4 years of college elsewhere. How much a reflection is this case on Princeton University itself?</p>

<p>I don't think you can pass that kind of judgment. You don't know what is happening there or what would happen at a "california ivy" (the name is comical...who gave you the right to make cali schools ivies...does ivy even grow in california??)</p>

<p>There are sick people everywhere, and it's naive to think that any institution can be free of crime.</p>

<p>its not as bad as the rapes that happened at penn and yale last year :(</p>

<p>did you know that if you have sex with someone while they're drunk, you can be charged with rape.</p>

<p>it was clearly a race related crime. But they are only charging him with a sex related crime. </p>

Michael Lohman, a third-year student in the applied and computational mathematics program, was charged last week by Borough police with two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of tampering with a food product, one count of harassment and one count of theft.

<p>Clearly this was a race related crime, but they are not charging him with a race related crime. </p>

<p>As you can tell from the tone of the article at the END, they are trying to play this incident down. Princeton clearly is unfriendly towards Asians, they condone race related crimes against Asians.</p>

<p>shrek2004, rapes happen on every campus. If you think it doesn't at princeton, then you are naive.</p>

<p>^ To condone this race related crime against Asians because Rape is much worse is about the worst attitude I have ever seen by any college campus to this serious issue.</p>

<p>Princeton will not be looked upon favorably by Asians and minorities around the globe. The university has handled this situation poorly.</p>
